Suika 2

Suika 2 is a portable game engine that runs on both Windows and Mac. You can enjoy producing impressive visual novels using Suika 2.

Demo

Portability

In a strict sense, Suika 2 runs on Windows, Mac, Linux and Android.

Suika 2 consists of a platform independent part and a hardware abstraction layer (HAL). The platform independent part is written in ANSI C with some GCC pragmas. HALs are currently written in C, Objective-C and Java.

If you want to port Suika 2 to a new target platform, it is only necessary to write a HAL.
